-The vine picks up a girl laying among the flowers. The scroll has been left somewhere beside her, and seems untouched. Furthermore, the position she is in seems hardly natural. Not like someone resting, but rather... she had fallen there. And, in fact, the more one looks at her, the more it appears she's not alive at all... At least for a few moments before her chest starts to move.

With a loud gasp and cry, she sits up, clutching at the space just below her ribs but above her stomach. She breathes heavily, a look of complete shock in her eyes.-

I'm... alive? But how... No wound remains, either... Not even a cut in my gown...

... These are not the ruins... Could it be God has delivered me unto heaven? Impossible... I deserve no such grace...

-She quickly moves to her feet, looking around. She is seemingly completely unaware she's being recorded.-

Hello! Is anyone there!?

... What trickery is this place?

I did! I was a fool to put faith in that man! -More tears...-

You... Ramza... All of us... We were all just pawns to him...

Pray tell, Princess, did something happen? I had not heard word in a while, but where I was, it would be hard to. We found out harsh truths ourselves, and had to clean up their messes for them. It was the only way I could be sure I could ensure a future for you....for us.

[She takes a finger and gently wiped at Ovelia's eyes, looking at her curiously, a bit worried.]

-Something had happened... But Ovelia suddenly found herself unable to speak it. About Delita. About their marriage. About her revelations. And... her death. She couldn't sound a word of it. She choked, still crying.-

[Agrias just holds her, shhing her softly, thumbing her hair and being as warm and steady as can be.]

It can wait, then, until you are calm and ready. For now, just let it all out. I do not know if this land we are in now is hostile, but the spot we are in now holds no ill will to us.

You are safe with me.

[ofnovalue]

-Safe... Yes. She was safe. Agrias made her feel completely at ease, even through the torrid emotions that still hung from her heart.-

Thank you... Agrias...

[Here, have a gentle hair ruffling as she looks herself over, not mentioning what she was just up to, either. A quick pat over assures her she is quite alive and just somewhat sore from fighting.]

It is my duty and my pleasure, milady. No matter where we end up, I will carry you if needed. Perhaps we should start by seeing where it is we are now. It is a rather odd place; I do not remember seeing such as you sent me across Ivalice.

[ofnovalue]

Ah, actually... We are not in Ivalice.
